Remembering the time Frank Ocean politely asked to take my picture at the Met Gala and I said “only if I can take yours” and he acquiesced. Upon seeing the picture he asked me to send it to him and I went to Instagram to dm it. He said “no...” then gingerly gave me his number.

I’m screaming. I’m screaming. I admire you so much and I’ll take this to dms soon but and so many women the last 4 years have made me want to be a more active citizen after years of feeling disenfranchised. Also let’s discuss recreating the Federal Theatre Project. 😭😭

Like honestly has there ever been a baddie as bad as Toni Morrison? A woman who published her first novel at 39 after waking up every morning at 4 to write before getting her kids to school and going to work editing books by white men then ended up winning the full NOBEL PRIZE???

If you’re a trans person who loved Sophie and are feeling it hard today put your Venmo and your favorite song / playlist below and I’ll Venmo you enough to order takeout or a good bottle of wine tonight. Dont know what the cap is but will do it till Venmo runs out of balance.

Pro Tip: During my Pomodoro writing breaks I watch BTS music videos to remind me that whatever I’m doing isn’t as difficult as inexplicably taking over the world as a group of beautiful young polyglots from Korea in a pop landscape that privileges European languages and boys.

To say this is exciting is an understatement. But what fills me with the pride and exhilaration is the fact that ⁦⁩ wouldn’t take my initial “No, thank you” and asked what I wanted most then delivered: A way to share tv $$ with theatre artists.

Just got off w/ accountant: After making close-ish to a million dollars in 2020 while paying rent in NYC & living in Europe, donating w a quarter of my earnings, saving half and buying my family a house...I still have a normal amount of money... No one should be a billionaire.

I shouldn’t be saying this but w/e...this speech is a perfect example of why Joaquin is one of the actors who I’m so excited to be writing for this year. He came to visit me in New Haven and I fell in love.

Also you guys I know it’s fun to make fun of ppl who say silly things but I personally can’t imagine being wildly articulate during a press conference after leaving a tour, crossing an ocean, and entering a 90° F island city designed from the imagination of a precocious child.

For those who don’t know the math that’s a week’s worth of Broadway sales for a successful musical with tickets at an avg of $100 raised from ONE performance digitally with tickets at pay what you can... This can be the #accessible future. #anyonecancook & #anyonecancreate

You did it! You raised over $1 million to benefit @TheActorsFund! But we aren’t done yet. Tickets are still on sale all weekend long on @TodayTix. Ratatousical.com

Yo...it’s actually so wild to think 8 years ago I saw my first movie and thought I’m gonna make a movie with them. & 5 years ago I got a retweet from Zola saying “I NEED TO MAKE THIS A MOVIE”. And here we are now...making a Florida set a24 movie with my best friend. 😭

Dear , Please retire the statement “if wins tonight it will be because black voters in these rural areas have shown up to vote” as john king just said... Instead say “If loses it was because of rampant white supremacy.” Period. Thanks, JOH

The eulogies written won’t cover a quarter of the impact you had on every theatre artist working today. Your corporeal absence will be felt at the openings of new artists you often attended (including mine—thank you) but you will continue living in so many works. RIP Sondheim

HARSH WRITING ADVICE: YOU DON'T READ ENOUGH. READ MORE FROM THE PAST. READ MORE FROM THE PRESENT. READ OTHER WRITERS IN YOUR PEER GROUP TO READ WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS.

"Typically grossed between $300k and $500k, a tally at the lower end of Broadway’s ranks. But it wasn’t for a lack of attendees—just the opposite. “Slave Play” often played to weekly audiences of at least 90% capacity." PLAYS SHOULDN'T BE A LUXURY ITEM.

Happy Father’s Day to all the moms who told their kids “we don’t need him and he’ll come crawling out of the woodwork one day when he needs you” or some version of that on late nights when tv dads and pasta couldn’t dam the tears.

So playwright @jeremyoharris tricked me into buying @slaveplaybway tickets for the first ten people to tweet us after the show. They were quickly claimed and we hope they all enjoy! Well played, Jeremy!

Two things I learned today about the Type of theatre maker I am: When my idol texts that she’s running late. I hold the curtain for her. When my idol texts me during a play I’ve written, I respond.

I’ll never forget the time woody harrelson brought a 23 yr old me along to bill maher’s house in the hills where i watched him sit on a swing, smoke a joint, and casually say “nigga” no less than 8 times in casual conversation. Bills back, baby...🤡🤡🤡

For a little black gay boy who reached for the stars from the south there were few people I could look up to up there amongst the stars who looked like me just more fab except for you Andre. For a generation of boysAndre Leon Talley was a beacon of grace and aspiration. RIP 👑

As part of his HBO deal, @jeremyoharris has secured a discretionary fund for experimental-theater production, essentially a weird-art slush fund. He talked to Vulture about it from Rome as he took a brief break from trying to write on deadline vult.re/2JwffkM

I'm gonna get off the neck of the kind ppl trying to write about Zola soon...but...there's a director and it wasn't they are our studio... REMEMBER THE NAME: JANICZA BRAVO...DIRECTOR & CO-WRITER. (PIC BELOW) It's misogynoir to invisibilize her work.

Obviously my first response is to say "insane", make a "Thanks Amy Cooper" joke, or just remind everyone all the people these awards generally ignore but i can't do that. Im lit crying. In Shock. A play about black inferiority, psychic death, & chattel slavery. Most ever?
